Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 34: Finishing Move
Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Finishing Move
"If I said I was self-taught, would you believe me?"
Su Mu indeed hadn’t gone through any formal training, so saying he was self-taught was somewhat true.
However, Su Mu’s self-teaching was entirely reliant on the system’s help.
Without the system’s Champion Driving Skill as a reward, the current Su Mu probably wouldn’t even count as a rookie.
"Damn, are all top students this freakish?"
"Su Mu, your driving skill is good enough for racing competitions, and you say you’re self-taught?"
Four Eyes completely admitted his defeat.
He knew he would never reach Su Mu’s level.
"Alright, keep practicing, and we’ll have another go sometime."
Champion Driving Skill, Four Eyes knew he couldn’t even dream of it.
Su Mu patted Four Eyes on the shoulder, as a form of consolation.
"Forget it, I know that even if I trained for another ten or eight years, I wouldn’t be able to match you."
"I admit defeat, bro."
Four Eyes wasn’t the type to fixate on impossible goals; once he understood, he let it go.
And speaking of Su Mu’s driving skill...
Forget Four Eyes, even seasoned drivers couldn’t beat him.
"Let’s go, it’s almost time. Let’s give them a good thrashing on the field."
Knowing the gap between himself and Su Mu, Four Eyes didn’t dwell on it and walked towards the soccer field with his arm over Su Mu’s shoulder.
Other team members of Su Mu’s side had already gathered.
The other side had also arrived, but one person clearly didn’t look like a high school student.
"Today is the graduation friendship match, doesn’t your person not meet the requirements?"
Without question, that tall, twenty-something looking guy had to be a ringer they brought in.
Su Mu’s teammates expressed their dissatisfaction.
"What’s not meeting the requirements? He’s part of our team."
In the past, Huadong International Middle School, Su Mu’s school, had played several soccer matches with Huayu High School.
Each time it had ended with International Middle School’s victory.
As it was the last match, Huayu High School wanted to save some face, which is why they spent a lot of money on a ringer.
"We’re willing to spend the money, what’s wrong with that? Are you jealous?"
"Cheerleaders, come on the field."
This ringer could be spotted as not a high school student with just a glance.
Huayu Middle School’s folks didn’t even try to hide it and took a very open and aboveboard stance.
Not only that, Huayu Middle School really had spent a lot this time.
Following their call, a group of girls dressed in very cool outfits ran onto the soccer field.
"Huayu, Huayu, score every goal."
"Huayu, Huayu, always number one."
No one knew who came up with the slogans, but they sounded incredibly cheesy.
"Su Mu, do you think we should hire a cheerleading squad as well?"
Setting aside that ringer, the beautiful cheerleaders were indeed very pleasing to the eyes.
Four Eyes’ gaze was firmly fixed on them, clearly a bit distracted.
"What are you thinking about? The match is about to start."
Su Mu smacked Four Eyes on the head to bring his attention back.
"Guys, Huayu has exploited a loophole."
"We can’t let them get away with it, let’s wipe them out."
Pretty much everyone knew Su Mu’s identity by now.
Such explosive news spread from ten to a hundred in no time at all.
As he was already a key player of the team, Su Mu now became even more of a leader.
No sooner had Su Mu’s voice dropped than everyone echoed in agreement.
"Right, take them down."
"Let’s flatten them all."
"So what if they got a ringer, do they really think they can touch the sky?"
...
The game was incredibly intense.
The situation wasn’t as simple as Su Mu and his team had imagined.
The aid Huayu Middle School brought in this time was truly a master.
His running strength was remarkable, able to play forward and also defend.
The players from Huadong International Middle School clearly felt the pressure.
They couldn’t just easily defeat Huayu Middle School like before.
2:2
Tie game
After some discussion, both sides agreed to play half an hour of overtime.
"Su Mu, what do we do? It seems winning won’t be as easy as we thought this time," said Four Eyes. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Everyone was huddled around Su Mu, no longer as confident as they were at the start.
Both the Huadong International Middle School and Huayu Middle School’s football teams were actually amateur football enthusiasts.
Now that Huayu Middle School had hired a professional player, Huadong International was surely at a disadvantage.
"No worries, just watch me, pass the ball to me whenever you get it," Su Mu said with a nonchalant smile.
Huayu Middle School was playing dirty, so they couldn’t blame him for not being polite in return.
He had intended to treat this as just an ordinary friendly match and wasn’t planning to use his killer move.
If Huayu Middle School refused to play fairly, then they couldn’t blame Su Mu.
"Check in on the football field!"
"Ding! Successful check-in on the football field, ’Champion Football Skill’ reward obtained!"
As the system’s voice sounded, various football techniques started to appear in Su Mu’s mind.
Kicking, controlling, heading, passing, dribbling, shooting...
Su Mu’s feet were trembling at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
Su Mu knew that these skills were far beyond the level of an ordinary football player.
They were definitely at the level of a world-class star.
Glancing at the professional player surrounded by Huayu Middle School’s team, Su Mu’s lips curved into a smirk.
Coming to bully a group of high school amateurs as a professional footballer wasn’t going to look good for him.
After the upcoming match, would the pro still have the face to appear on a football field?
Overtime Match
All the players from Huadong International centered around Su Mu.
Anyone who got the ball passed it to him.
With the ’Champion Football Skill,’ Su Mu naturally wouldn’t let his teammates down.
Long-range lob shot, volley flick, backheel, bicycle kick, toe poke.
The half-hour overtime completely turned into Su Mu’s home game.
A decisive 5:0 victory
Su Mu scored in five different ways.
"Su Mu, Su Mu, Su Mu..."
The players from Huadong International threw Su Mu up high, loudly chanting his name.
Su Mu was like a true football hero at that moment, receiving the most enthusiastic celebration from his teammates.
On the other hand, Huayu Middle School, who had hired a professional and even specially organized a cheerleading team.
What they thought was a game in the bag ended up in a humiliation.
No one could understand how Su Mu managed to unleash such amazing skills in the last thirty minutes of the match?
Having lost the game, they of course slunk away, rather than staying to be ridiculed.
The pro, who didn’t have the impact they expected, was also left behind on the field.
Watching Su Mu laughing happily with his teammates, the pro felt both hatred and fear.
What he hated was that this young man had cut off his revenue stream.
After this match spread, the pro’s football career would probably be over.
After all, Su Mu’s identity was just a student, an amateur football enthusiast, wasn’t he?
In the half-hour of overtime, the pro was completely overwhelmed by Su Mu, not having any energy left to defend, let alone shoot.
What he feared was that Su Mu’s skills were simply too terrifying.
The pro could swear to the heavens that he had never seen such a high level of football skills in the country before.
